2. 2

3. 3

   Step 3

   We apply the local Saudi Arabia percentage and show the total with tip.

• 1

  Tipping in Saudi Arabia is custom, not obligation: this dataset assumes roughly 10% in restaurants and 5% at hotels when no service charge is added — check the bill first, since many venues in Medina already include service.

• 2

  Work in the local currency of Medina and keep card fees as a separate line; converting every tipping price to your home currency with a rough rate distorts the comparison between options and hides their real differences.

• 3

  Check official sources for Medina visa, tax, or fee rules before relying on any computed figure (Tipping Calculator: Medina) — travel rules change with little notice, and a calculator cannot know about a decision announced last week.

• Tipping Medina twice: when service is already printed on the bill, adding the 10% restaurant norm from this dataset pays the server a second time. Read the invoice line first, then apply percentages only where service is absent.

• Forgetting hotels in the Medina cash envelope: porters and housekeeping sit near 5% of the service cost in this dataset, yet most visitors budget only the 10% restaurant line. Cover both when sizing the daily money you carry.
